What's Wrong?

When creating a second subagent via the /agents command, the dialog shows an EEXIST error and
pressing 's' to save does nothing. The agent file is never created.

What Should Happen?

The agent file should be saved to .claude/agents/ successfully, regardless of whether the directory
already exists.

Error Messages/Logs

EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir 'C:\Users\<user>\<project>\.claude\agents'

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create any first subagent via /agents — this succeeds and creates .claude/agents/
2. Open /agents again and fill out a second agent
3. Press 's' or Enter to save
4. Error appears: "EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir '.claude/agents'"
5. Agent file is never written to disk
